September 08, 2009 : The Planning Commission has invited voluntary organizations (VOs) and Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs) to sign up the NGOs partnership system (NGO-PS) web portal at http:/ngo. india.gov.in.
This will enable to track the status of applications for NGO grants online besides knowing details of grant and schemes of key ministries and Departments. This would further enable to know details of existing VOs/ NGOs across India.
This would be a free facility to bring about greater partnership between Government and voluntary sector and foster better transparency, efficiency and accountability.
